A majority of the studies were in-vitro small, and involved multiple comparison. 39 studies contributed to meta-analyses of a broad range of parameters whiich suggest little technical difference between CAD-CAM and conventional CDs. However few studies reported on aesthetics or patient reported outcomes.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of shrinkage-free ZrSiO4-ceramic full- coverage crowns on premolars and molars in comparison with conventional gold crowns over a 5-year period. Invited patents who required posterior crowns were randomised to receive either a shrinkage-free ZrSiO4-ceramic crown (test group) or a gold crown (control group). The [read the full story…]
